ST. LOUIS, Ito; METROPOLITANS, L.
ST LOUIS, May 24-The champions per-
formed the remarkable feat of earning every
one of sixteen runs scored in their fourth vic
tory over the Metropolitans to-day. Their mag
nifcent hitting, however, was offset by loose
fielding. while the Metropoltans played a splen-
did fielding game. Up to the ninth inning it was
anybodys game. but in this inning the Browns
made six hits, three of them two bagRers; were
given three bases on balls and made eight runs.
which, once and for ALL settled the game Rob-
inson made several wonderful stops of apparently
safe hits, cutting off at least three
Latham's superb timely batting, and the fieldng
of Gerhardt and Nelson, were notable features.
Five thousand people were present to give the
Cham pions a rousing send-of On their first East

ALMOST RIOT AT CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND May 28-The base ball grounds
in this city narrowly escaped being the scene of
riot in the sixth inning of to days
game Umpire Valentines decision against
Mann at third base necessitated the calling of
the game and all playing was suspended for fif-
teen minutes, during which time an Infatuated
crowd Kissed and hooted until the very
air became green and sulphurous It was
Umpire Valentines third decision against the
home team in the game. Baltimore played an
erroriess game and batted hard although fine
playing WAS not needed to win. Crowells
pitching for Cleveland was very weak and the
fielding of the home team was simply disgust
ing. Both in and outfelds played
EEe mar ruSticS from a school-
house. and their helplessness at times was pitia-
ble kilroy's delivery was almost untouched ex-
cept in the sixth inning, when four straight sin
giles, base on balls and sacrifice erounder
earned Cleveland three runs There we're
pecially brilliant plays. Attendance, 1900.
